Easy Digital Downloads Check Payment Gateway 1.3.5

Easy Digital Downloads Check Payment Gateway Plugin

Want to accept checks on your WordPress site? The EDD Check Payment Gateway extension adds secure offline payment processing to your Easy Digital Downloads store. No credit card fees eating into your margins — just clean check transactions for your high-value digital products. Customers place their order, mail you a check, and you approve the purchase once payment clears. The whole thing runs through your WordPress dashboard, no third-party services, no fuss.

What It Is

The plugin hooks directly into your Easy Digital Downloads checkout. Once enabled, customers see “Pay by Check” at checkout instead of entering card details. They get instructions for mailing payment. You receive a notification, confirm the check arrives, and manually mark the transaction complete. Everything stays inside WordPress where you’re already running your store.

Key Features

• Works with your existing EDD setup — no complicated configuration
• Customize payment instructions — write exactly what customers should do after ordering
• Automatic order status workflow — orders sit as “pending” until you approve them
• Email alerts for you and your customer at each stage of the process
• Compatible with other EDD gateways — offer check as one option among several
• Code follows WordPress standards — easy for developers to extend

Who It’s For

This makes sense for stores selling software licenses, design bundles, photography packages — anything where credit card fees actually hurt. Say you’re selling a $500 design template. Stripe takes 2.9% plus $0.30. That’s $14.80 gone on every sale. Checks cost nothing extra.

Also works well when you have repeat customers who already trust you with check payments. If your audience prefers traditional payment methods or you’re moving products expensive enough that percentages matter, this gateway handles that.

How To Use It

After installation, go to Downloads → Settings → Payment Gateways in your WordPress admin. Enable the Check Gateway, add your mailing address, and write any custom instructions you want customers to see. Done. The gateway shows up at checkout automatically.

When an order comes in, you’ll see it in your EDD orders list marked as pending. Once the check arrives and clears, mark the order complete from your dashboard — the customer gets their download access right away.

Why Buy This

Managing offline payments without proper integration is a headache. You’re tracking checks in spreadsheets, manually emailing download links, and crossing your fingers nothing slips through. This plugin fixes that. Your customer gets a smooth checkout experience. You get an organized workflow. Everything lives in WordPress where you already spend your time.

One purchase. Lifetime updates. Zero transaction fees on checks.
